Why would I convert from Btu (IT)/minute/square foot to calorie (IT)/second/square centimeter?

This conversion helps translate heat flux measurements commonly used in HVAC and thermal engineering into units preferred in older scientific literature and specific experimental methods.

Are calorie (IT) units still relevant in modern engineering?

Calorie (IT) units are less common today but remain used in certain fields like calorimetry, materials processing, and some thermal-protection studies.

Does the conversion maintain precise accuracy?

Accuracy depends on consistent unit definitions and careful attention to differences in time and area base units.
